    Thanks to everyone for listening. To say again, yes I have a self sustained neck injury from 2015. I’m currently trying to fix the problem but every test I’ve had so far has come back inconclusive with no sign of any problem. In the meantime just try and enjoy the tones as my neck doesn’t hurt....I just can’t move it :D

    This sounds absolutely incredible. The overdrive is both really saturated, and pointy, at the same time it's got girth and body, while it's articulate and clear. Really hard to nail that combination and they've done it.

  • @90sPunkRockCovers
    @90sPunkRockCovers 2 роки тому +5

    Probably the most accurate representation on this platform of how the Soldano amp sounds and feels “in room” even though it’s mic’d up. Most videos I have seen on UA-cam sound muddy or super flabby, never capturing its true sound. I just got the 100 version and it does feel like a mule hitting you in the chest at volume 1.5. Amazing amp, your 30 sounds just as good, great playing. Cheers 🍻

  • @pauloalexandre-dd4nl
    @pauloalexandre-dd4nl 4 роки тому +10

    I always say that soldano is a combination or a plexi amp mixed together with a recto metal amp. Before my favourite tones was a metal amp and a Marshall, park.or plexi amp mixed. You get the perfect comb. But with soldano you got both there. And for lead. Maybe the best amp ever

    • @bulletproofprs

    My brother had the pleasure of trying his friend's Soldano SLO100 years ago, and I recently asked him if that tone stands up to the plethora of amazing modern amps we have today. He simply said "I know it's easy to think it's a dated amp, but you just need to plug into one and you'll never be the same".
    Extremely bold claim I know, but I would LOVE to try a legendary SLO model (or even a Hot Rod and Avenger) one day.

    Just wanted to say great job on this and all your videos. I was looking at the last couple amp demos that popped up in my feed and the general sound just really hit me in all of them. Guessing the magic part is just a real mic and cab, good preamp, good compressor, and walla - it sounds like you think it should, or at least closer to what you feel you hear in the room. So whatever you are doing, keep doing that.

Not to mention it goes all the way to 13. Currently running it at .75 and turned the output down on the pedal going in the front. If I don't it is uncomfortably loud even under volume lvl 1!

    @toom6087 4 роки тому +1

    I own an original SLO100 : when you push the preamp gain, you push the volume too. So if you wanna go to high gain territory, at 7/8 o'clock on the gain, you can't go over 1 on the master. If you go further, you feel blood coming in ears. This amp is a beast.
    I don't like the new one. The FX loop is better, but the EQ sucks. It's made for tight low end. I really prefer the EQ on the original one. It gives me some fat Rectifier tone from the 90's.
    Nice video indeed. You just should have try the bright switch with the clean, not the dirty clean. It's so spanky that when you play without the pick, it sounds like Mark Knoplfer.
